The audio guide was so helpful and provided great details about the things we saw on the walking tour. Made it so enjoyable to learn some of the history of some of things we were looking at. Will definitely recommend to friends traveling to Italy.

Perfect for the first day in Venice to get my bearings and to see the highlights of the city. Download was available immediately and off I went!

Took so long to get to the starting point that we didn’t have time for the tour. We started at Saint Marks Square in Venice, and it took quite a long time to walk to the starting point. There was no simple way to get there..
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Ciao! My product is a digital guide that you can use to explore Venezia by yourself. Considering that you can access for 3 days, saying that you had "time" for the tour it's quite weird honestly😅 Also, starting point is really close to train station but you could even start from San Marco square (2km distance) and do the itinerary in the other direction 🤓 We are always really responsive through mail and/or WhatsApp and it's a pity that you didn't text us to ask anything and just left a review 🥲.
We hope that this answer will help other travellers!

This was great, made us wonder why we ever really need a tour guide versus just doing a self tour. Gave us tons of flexibility.
Jody_C, Nov 2025
It was a long walk from our hotel to the beginning of this tour so we just used the written portion.
Well-researched, easy to access, and interesting facts. It’s like having a guide book. Didn’t get the full experience, but it wasn’t expensive.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Unfortunately, giving a negative review because "it was a long walk from our hotel to the start of this tour" is something that is completely unrelated to my digital guide. I am glad that you appreciated the content and easy accessibility. I hope my response will help other travelers.

The tour was great for my wife and I because we could go at our own pace and really pick what we wanted to spend time at. Tons of great information about Venice and its history. The guide was very easy to follow and the Google Maps links worked flawlessly!! This self guided tour was well worth the small amount of money spent and gave us an amazing path through the city.
Michelle_H, July 2025
Good information and good directions. We were able to adapt it to our available time. The guide had good information.
RICKI_F, May 2025
The tour was very informative and the speakers are native Americans so it was much easier to understand than a local guide struggling with English. The only issue we had is that the app only downloaded onto one of our two phones

Guides are a great way to see things at your own pace. Guide gives some history and insider tips. Just download before you start in areas with slow internet.
John_B, Mar 2025
The walking tour didn’t load in our app. Didn’t get to hear anything! Useless. Would like our money back!!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Ciao!
I am sorry to read this review from you! All activation details were shared during booking and the night before your activity. 💪🏻
We also offer assistance on WhatsApp and through platform support almost instantly but you did not message us. 🥲
However, I hope you can try our guides, super appreciated by hundreds of tourists, in the future!
Ciao

Amazing script. Great way to see a city at your own pace. Easy technology. Thanks to Mateo for making it so easy.
Stephen_h, June 2024
Excellent experience. Learned and experienced Venice at our own pace. Also like that it took us to the big sites and little less traveled sites. Tech was easy to navigate as well.

Hello.
Nice experience, very useful to know Venice at its own pace. Audio guides keep their promises.
